Details
BlueBubbles group reaction events previously bypassed requireMention and still enqueued agent-visible system events in groups that were supposed to stay mention-gated. Commit f8c98630785288cc1f1d0893503ef3b653a3cede applies the reaction path to the same mention gate as normal group messages.
Verified vulnerable on tag v2026.3.24 and fixed on main by commit f8c98630785288cc1f1d0893503ef3b653a3cede.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openclaw, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
The records we use list no patched version of openclaw for GHSA-mw7w-g3mg-xqm7. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
